A week ago today we welcomed a new member to our family. We've been wanting to adopt for quite some time and have been waiting for the right fit for our family. He's four years old, well behaved, extremely quiet, and has a handicap. Pictures will be coming soon...

One of the Crop Addict Design Team members posted this on the forum, thought I'd share...

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

Billed as a "musical within a comedy", The Drowsy Chaperone is a fast moving, laugh out loud musical comedy whose main character, "man in chair", in an attempt to combat the blues plays his record of the play, "The Drowsy Chaperone".

To say the show was outstanding and amazing would not do the performance justice. It was captivating, engaging, and the perfect way to spend the day.

I'm at JC Penny this morning picking up an order and returning a pair of pants. It's 8:45am and I'm the only customer at customer service and I have a JC Penny bag in my hand. As I am called to the counter the customer service representative asks me what I needed. "I need to pick up an order and do a return."

"Oh, you'll have to do the return at the department. We can't do that here."

At dinner tonight the big one was sharing his tale of seeing a dead raccoon on the way home from school. He didn't get very far into his tale because in telling the story, he said, "I saw a dead raccoon walking on Windsor."

Naturally, we had to ask "You saw a dead raccoon walking on Windsor?" This lead to another discussion on grammar and how important is to be clear on what you are saying. "I saw a dead raccoon walking on Windsor." means something completely different than "While walking on Windsor, I saw a dead raccoon."

Maybe it's the end of the term since both boys are having trouble speaking tonight. The little one was telling me that I needed to bring grapes to his Christmas "potlash."

Hmm, maybe that dead raccoon was going to the Christmas potlash on Windsor....
